I still cannot understand why the #S100 bus based computers were not a great success in the early 1980s.
It was used for the first hobbyist #Altair computers as well as #Z80 CPU based systems.
The extensibility through standardized components was one of the key features. There were backplanes, cases and exchangeable 3rd party components available.
But people preferred proprietary stuff like #Apple II and #Commodore pet and later #VC20 and #C64.
